What's your favorite curse word that isn't actually a curse word?

For example, mine's bimblebits.

"Zut!" that's because we always had a strict "no swearing" policy in our home. Or "sacrebleu" (aka holy blue).

Shitakimushrooms or fudge! My two favs

I often use the words “frickleberries” which goes with the phrase “Frickleberry Fin!!” And then I use “Fudge buckets!”

Altogether super innocent 😂😂

I've always been fond of exclaiming 'Gods of Blood and Pain!' when something's going wrong. Can't take credit for it though I took it from a Conan graphic novel.

I'm not sure when, where, or why this started, but if there are little ones around my go-to is "Crumbs."

"flipping"

"I'm flipping amazed!"

"Study" and "Fudge". .

"Kriff", a Star Wars curse word for certain. "Frickety frackin'", "Blast it", "Fudge", a bunch of ice cream flavors....

“Schnitzel” is a common one for me. That and “flibberty-jibbet.”

For me I use the good ol’ phrase “frikin”

“It’s frikin bats......I love Halloween”

Speaking of Star Wars, I like "Nerf-herder," "poodoo," "sleemo," and others. Creative swearing in older fiction can be quite hilarious!

I am also a fan of "Fiddlesticks!"

"HOT STEAMING BELGIUM WALFALES!!"

When I was younger, I used to say things like, "Sweet Typhlosions in a racecar, dude!" ...Yeah, I was that kind of person.

Now? A bit more tame. Usually things like, "The fail was that?", "For the love of Gaia," and "Bump this, I'm done." Fail and anything Gaia/holy thing related is my usual go-to though.

"Sweet Typhlosions in a racecar, dude!"
I hope you don't mind if I steal that one.

Most of my "curse words" typically involved video game characters... I used to call my brother a Goomba, or sometimes I'd call the cats a stupid Meowth, among a few other things...

My "curse words" tend to be things like "shoot", "darn", "dang", and "heck", though I do remember calling one of my dogs an "uncooperative piece of poo" at one point

Two of my favorites came from the TV channel FX back when censorship was considerably more of a deal than they are today. "Monkey Framer" and "Melon Farmer" came from watching Die Hard With A Vengance.

I also frequently use "Shiitake Mushrooms" and "God Bless America", as well as "Stone of a peach!"
"Finger lickin' good" and "Franklink D. Roosevelt" also pop up as substitutions on occasion.

I've always had a habit of subbing my swear words with Fire! the reactions it gets sometimes are pretty amusing

I've started using "frick" and "cuss" as in, what in the fricken cuss
